Sick of eggs? Try Ricotta Muffins

[luvscoffee]

Ok, so those of us that are starting on re-starting (thats me) Phase 1 might be getting sick of eggs. I read many posts of people wanting an alternative. There are many good alternatives in the recipe section and I have another one for you. I call them "ricotta muffins." They are completely fine for Phase 1

Ricotta Muffins
Heat oven to 400, spray a muffin pan.
Then, mix 2 cups ricotta (part skim has less sugar), 4 eggs, 6-8 packs splenda (depending on how sweet you prefer) and vanilla extract to taste.
Mix the ingredients and pour into muffin tin.
Bake 20- 30 min or more until toothpick comes out clean.

I put them in tupperware and heat up two of them for breakfast. This really helps break up the egg routine.

Serves:12, one muffin=one serving

Sorry to confuse everyone. I shouldn't have said "non egg." There are still eggs in this, but it doesn't feel or taste like you are eating "just eggs."

Luvscoffee, how many "muffins" does this make? Thanks!

This sounds Great! and less involved than the cheesecakes I wonder if you could use SF strawberry jello

I made these tonight, but I was having a chocolate attack, so I stired in 2 T cocoa powder to the batter before baking. They turned out great. ( BTW, I got 12 muffins out of this recipe.) Also, I only used 4 packets of the Splenda, it was plenty sweet for me, but I didn't want them too sweet.

We got 12 muffins too...and we used an extra egg. We also liked them - we added pumpkin spice...yum!

Both Ideas are GREAT I'm going to make these when I get back

[favepairobluejeans]

mmm, pumpkin spice sounds GOOD. Hey, has anybody baked these in a water bath? I'm wondering if they would come out cheesecake-ish that way? They were a little dry and I was tempted to butter them. ( I didn't).

I just made them with 4 pkts of splenda 2.5 t of cocoa a smidge of cinammon and had one Hot
gooood probably could have used another splenda pkt but still reall good!!

I am going to try these right now. I am on the beginning of Week 2, Phase 1 and I did not have a very good weekend. I need to have a good week, but I am sick of eggs so upstairs I go to whip these muffins together. Thanks for the great idea. Could any of you tell me how to get the scale tracker you all have. Thanks !!!!!

Batina (and everyone else), you might want to try this thread: Breakfast Alternatives to Eggs in the FAQ for lots of other ways to have breakfast without an egg in sight. These are truly "eggless" ideas!

As to the scale trackers, you've got two options. Go to the "Quick Links" link in the bar at the top of the screen, then click on "Sig Weight Tracker" or go to www.tickerfactory.com and make one there. Once you're done, just pop it in your sig and you're there! If you need more help, check out the help forum (link off the main forum page).

On Saturday, my hubby made these savory instead of sweet - we'll never go back to sweet!

he used onion, garlic, mushrooms, italian cheeses, and basil - oh my goodness! they're so good, we're making them for our family for Christmas brunch!

Wifey tht sound divine! can you give us the exact process ie steps you used to put it in?
That might be fabu with some spinach too!

Those muffins do sound yummy. I am not on SB anymore... couldn't handle the carb temptation and yo-yoed constantly. But I remember when I was on the program making little "pancakes" with cottage cheese and egg that were divine. I put SF syrup on them. I can dig up the recipe if anyone wants it.

ok, so I made these this morning and I must have done something terribly wrong. But, how can you mess up this recipe? Mine tasted like a sponge. I guess I will give it another go and see. I love this sight and all the wonderful posts. I hope you are all having a good choice Monday.
